Mika,"Mobile Lifestreams has alliances with both the GSM Association and the CDMA Development Group and therefore has extensive knowledge of both airlinks. This site will take a look at the development paths to Third Generation (3G) for both these technologies as well as TDMA." outrageous "A Comparison between GPRS and cdmaOne Packet Data" , the article is hardly outrageous. I would appreciate your inputs as to any inaccuracies you think are contained in it. The article does not differ much in substance from a classic piece by Peter Rysavy called "The Evolution of Cellular Data: On the Road to 3G" published on the GSM Data Knowledge Site:gsmdata.com "Although UMTS is the commonly employed term to identify third generation mobile systems in Europe, it is in fact only one member of the global universal family of standards being developed in the ITU which are known as IMT?2000. There has been a recent communication from the EU to the US stating that in EU member states licensees should be free to employ systems based on any member of IMT-2000 family of standards as long as one of the licensees employs the European UMTS version as standardised in ETSI."
